New CPC blue coming? :D
 
Any thoughts on hosting a factory open house some day, or do you provide tours if someone is in the neighborhood? It would be great to be able to learn and understand more about the CPC chip manufacturing process. Perhaps we could schedule a separate PCF meet-up to coincide with the open house event, would be great fun!

I wish!! I was hoping to schedule local pickup when my customs are ready, but unfortunately, due to legal reasons (gaming commision, etc.), they can't authorize any kind of factory visit. I then tried to schedule a meetup just down the street from the factory for pickup but David wasn't on board with that either. :LOL: :laugh:
 
We had a JimB retirement meetup, with extended meetup at my house a few years ago. No tours but we got to meet Jim, Michael Dambach, Jamie and Sally.

And we had a tourney.
 
Hey David,

Say I have a design and its the same for each denomination so the only thing different is the denomination. Would I need a custom die for each denomination or can the denomination part be switched out on one die?

It is possible providing there is enough space all around the denom.
However, from a recent quote we got, it appears it is no cheaper than getting separate dies made because the two part ones have to be drilled, threaded and have screws supplied.
 
I walked through once when JimB was there with JM. I understand why they can't do it anymore but it was an awesome experience. I don't remember any of the technical stuff other than realizing that chip making is an art and uses some really old school equipment (which lends to the art aspect of this).
 
Any progress towards getting permission to use the E&C mold again?
 
Generally doesn't happen as costs are not related to size of order. Well they are, but there isn't a discount.
 
General question here.

How long does it take to make 1 chip (I know you make them in 15- 25 batches)

I am more interested in how long the process takes(making it up as I have no idea on process)
mixing materials -> processing -> pressing/molding -> *magic* -> edge spots -> hot stamping -> cooling

Is this something you are able to disclose?

Cheers,

CPC chips aren't made. They are willed into existence by sheer brute force thought. This is how badass @David Spragg is.
 
TL; DR..

Is there an extra charge for using
- DG colors (such as Tiger and Peacock) as base colors?
- DG colors as edge spots?
- Bright white as an edge (with imperfections)?

Working on my pricing charts to see what I can(not) afford.

I have a general discussion question for @David Spragg

How many chips has CPC made in 2017? 2016? Ever?

Do you keep/publish counts of how many sweet little clay discs you’ve manufactured?

Would be interested in knowing. Purely academic.
 
Additional question for Mr. @David Spragg

What chips do you use in your own home game? Do you have a custom set of your own? Has anyone ever asked that question?
